AB  - We have developed a new database system for forensic autopsies, called the Legal 
      Medicine Information System, using the Clinical Data Interchange Standards 
      Consortium (CDISC) Operational Data Model (ODM). This system comprises two 
      subsystems, namely the Institutional Database System (IDS) located in each 
      institute and containing personal information, and the Central Anonymous Database 
      System (CADS) located in the University Hospital Medical Information Network 
      Center containing only anonymous information. CDISC ODM is used as the data 
      transfer protocol between the two subsystems. Using the IDS, forensic 
      pathologists and other staff can register and search for institutional autopsy 
      information, print death certificates, and extract data for statistical analysis. 
      They can also submit anonymous autopsy information to the CADS 
      semi-automatically. This reduces the burden of double data entry, the time-lag of 
      central data collection, and anxiety regarding legal and ethical issues. Using 
      the CADS, various studies on the causes of death can be conducted quickly and 
      easily, and the results can be used to prevent similar accidents, diseases, and 
      abuse.
